Dissecting a novel Fusarium head blight resistance QTL TaFhb-6A in wheat Line R111 using integrated multi-omics strategies

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease that threatens wheat yield and quality worldwide. Breeding FHB-resistant cultivars is the most sustainable solution, whereas the narrow genetic basis of resistance has restricted breeding progress. In this study, we devel...

Identification of anti-senescence candidate genes TaSGR2 and TaSGRL1 and development of molecular marker related to chlorophyll degradation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

STAY-GREEN (SGR) genes play crucial roles in chlorophyll degradation and are considered promising candidates for developing leaf anti-senescence crops. However, their characterization in wheat remains unclear. In this study, we performed a genome-wide identification of TaSGR gene...
